|yup! this code is a permanent while loop. it has no function calls in it,
|so the OS is never free to choose to defer running the function so that
|it can run something else. (more or less! this is an overly simple
|explanation of multitasking :-) )
|
|why hogging up the computer could possibly fix fxtv on sawfish is utterly
|incomprehensible.
Makes no sense to me yet either. Sawfish users (and others with this
problem) should verify that:
fxtv -debug events
stabilizes and stops printing events _very_ quickly.
If not, it could be that fxtv and the window manager are fighting each
other, and capture is being constantly stopped and restarted.
